Origin of Donlinoes.

Amedee Ponthieu has written an elab- crate article about the game of "dom- ino," tor, as it is called, "dominoes ], and contends that 1t dates back to the sixth century.
 Two monks of the celebrated monas- tery of Monte Casino, who were confined in the jail for trifling disobedience, in- vented in order to kill the dreary hours of their imprisonment, a game with small, white, square pieces of chalk, into which they cut small holes, which they colored, and with which they played.
 Being watched by the jailer of the monastery. they commenced to sing with a loud voice the beginning of the psalm, "Dixit Dominus Domino" as soon as they heard the jailer coming, and repeat ed these words until the dangerous man was gone.
 After having been released they man ufactured square pieces of wood and ivory, with black holes, and sold them to other monks. Thus the game was soon spread throughout Italy.

 But the dog wagged his tail all the time, cause he knew it was only ono of my jokes on him, and he wasn't mad. But he did look savage.
 When pa came in from down town at supper time I was up stairs win the dog, and let him go, and he went down stairs on gallOp to welcome pa. He thinks everything of pa.
 Pa saw him coming and he saw tho foam on his mouth, and pas hair just raised right up.
 "The dog was going to jump up on pa as usual, and have pa take off the rubber band, but pa yelled, Take him off! He's mad Hammer lock yourself in the closet and telephone for the patrol wagon
 Well, you'd dide to see pa. He jumped right over the dog, and went down the cellar stairs at two jumps, and crowded in the coal-bin under the kndling wood.

 The interior generally consists oi a1 irregular.y-skapcd square circle, twelTo or fifteen feet il diameter, receiving It's only light from without through the small smoke-openiag at the apex of the roof, which rises, tent-like, from the floor. The fireplace is directly under this opening.
 Rude beds CT couche5 of skin and grass mats are laid, slightly raised above the floor, upon clumsy frames made of stic,,s and saplings or rough hewn blanks, and sometimes on little elevations built up Of peat or sod.
 Sometimes a small hallway with buiG- ing sides is erected over the entrance, where. by this expansion, room is af- forded for the keeping Of utensils and water vessels and as Q shelter for dogs.
 Immediately adjoining most Of thcGe houses will be found 8 small summer kitchen, a rude wooden frame, walled in and covered with sod5, with an opening at the top to give vent to the smoke.
 These are entirely ahove ground, rarely over five or six feet iii diameter, and are Uttered with filth and olfal of all kinds; serving also as Q refuge for the dogs from the indictment weather.
